Most proxies ask the operating system nicely for a socket; paqet skips the conversation, building its own TCP packets byte by byte to tunnel traffic between your machine and your server. The server end listens on a port you choose and speaks only in raw packets it crafts and captures itself through pcap, before the kernel's connection tracking ever sees them. On your machine, the client presents an ordinary SOCKS5 proxy on localhost plus optional port forwards, so browsers and command-line tools connect exactly as they would to any proxy. Between the two ends, KCP with smux multiplexing turns a stream of self-contained packets into fast, reliable, encrypted sessions, with AES or lighter modes selected per deployment. TCP flag cycling varies how packets present themselves on the wire, giving operators control over the traffic pattern the tunnel produces. Built-in utilities generate the shared secret, ping the server with a single test packet, and dump live traffic decoded, so a silent tunnel gets diagnosed in minutes rather than by packet-capture archaeology. One YAML file per side declares the role, network interface, gateway MAC, and keys, and the same binary runs both ends. It suits security research, hostile networks, and anyone whose ordinary proxies keep getting reset.

Real-time alerts from your own infrastructure to your phone, with no Firebase, Pushover, or third-party push service in the path: Gotify is a simple, self-hosted notification server written in Go. The model is deliberately minimal: senders push messages with a single HTTP POST to the REST API, receivers subscribe over a WebSocket stream, and a clean React web UI manages the pieces. Senders are namespaced as "applications," each with its own token, so your backup script, Uptime Kuma, CI pipeline, and cron jobs each get an identity, an icon, and independently revocable credentials - centralized alerting from many services with per-source management. Messages carry a title, body, and priority level that maps to notification importance on the client. The official Android app (on both F-Droid and Google Play, notable for working entirely without Google Play Services) shows push notifications for new messages; the web UI itself supports Web Push in the browser; and gotify/cli pushes messages from shell scripts with one command. A server-side plugin system adds custom behavior, and the whole thing runs as a single small binary with SQLite by default - near-zero resource footprint. Because dozens of tools (and Apprise) speak Gotify natively, it slots in as the notification hub for an entire homelab or ops stack.

Every account you run deserves its own browser identity, and FoxProfile keeps those identities permanently separate instead of letting them bleed into one another. Create a profile once and it remembers its device: screen, GPU, CPU cores, fonts, and canvas noise are generated on first launch and reused on every later one, so the fingerprint a site saw yesterday is the fingerprint it sees tomorrow. Sessions stick too: history, cookies, and logins live in the profile directory, and the tabs you left open reopen where you left them. Each profile carries its own proxy (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5, with a built-in checker) while timezone and locale follow the exit IP automatically or stay pinned to your choice, and the Check IP button compares the exit address across three services and flags mismatches or datacenter addresses. Cookies move in and out as standard editor JSON or Netscape files, whole profiles travel as ZIP archives, and bulk actions launch, stop, or delete fleets at once. On a server, the web panel runs profiles headlessly so you can manage them and view their screens from anywhere, the REST API scripts everything, and the MCP server lets AI agents drive the browsers directly.

MiroTalk C2C is a self-hosted WebRTC cam-to-cam calling server that turns one private link into an encrypted one-to-one video call in the browser, with nothing for guests to download or sign up for. Create a room, pick how you want to join, and share the room ID: the other person opens it and you are face to face with video, audio, and screen sharing between desktops and phones. Push-to-talk and best-quality toggles sit next to camera, microphone and video quality controls in the in-call settings, and session time stays visible so lengthy calls never surprise you. Replace your background with the built-in Off, Blur, or Image modes processed locally in your browser, and show your camera as a picture-in-picture bubble in a corner of a shared screen so presentations keep a human face. The meeting is private by design: you choose the room and how you join before entering, and media stays encrypted between participants. Host it with the official Docker image on your own infrastructure to keep media and signaling under your control, embed calls into your own products with the direct room join and REST API, and use ngrok support for quick testing. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Website analytics, uptime monitoring, and server status - three tools most teams run separately - combined in Tianji, an open-source observability platform. The analytics layer tracks page views, unique visitors, referrers, and UTM parameters with a lightweight cookie-less script, which keeps collection GDPR and CCPA friendly. The uptime monitor checks availability and latency on configurable intervals, accepts passively reported results, and publishes public status pages for incident communication. Server status agents report CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics with threshold-based alerts, and notifications route through webhooks, Slack, Telegram, and other channels with noise control. It also includes anonymous telemetry for tracking deployments of your own open-source projects, surveys, waitlists, team collaboration, and an OpenAPI interface for integrations and exports. The consolidation is the point: traffic analytics, uptime checks, and server metrics share one interface and one alerting layer, so diagnosing an incident does not mean hopping between Google Analytics, Uptime Kuma, and Prometheus - and the built-in public status pages replace a separate paid Statuspage-style subscription. Because collection uses no cookies with IP truncation and aggregation by default, basic traffic measurement requires no consent banner. Built in TypeScript under the Apache 2.0 license and inspired by Umami and Uptime Kuma, it is deliberately right-sized for independent developers and small SaaS teams whose monitoring needs are real but lightweight.

Nojoin takes notes on your Meet, Teams, and Zoom calls without sending a bot into the meeting: it records from your browser and transcribes on your own server. Nothing extra joins the call and nothing announces itself to the room; you meet as usual, press record, and the browser captures the audio. Transcription runs locally with Whisper or Parakeet, so the audio never leaves your hardware, and speaker recognition matches voiceprints across calls, so a person you name once is labelled correctly in later meetings too. AI notes can come from an API provider, your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription, or Ollama on the same machine for fully local processing. During the call, Meeting Edge suggests questions, flags points you may have missed, and explains unfamiliar terms in real time. Afterward, analytics measured from the audio report talk-time share, turn-taking, and overlapping speech. A built-in MCP server hands Claude or ChatGPT 32 tools over your library, 19 of them writable, so an assistant can search every meeting, correct a misheard line, turn action items into tasks, and reconcile attendees with your CRM. Google and Outlook calendars sync automatically, every meeting carries its own chat, and finished notes export to PDF, Word, or plain text. Stored credentials are encrypted with a key you control, and anonymous telemetry can be switched off entirely.

Large link collections stay fast and organized in Faved, a private, self-hosted bookmark manager built for exactly that job. Its core is a nested tagging system that outgrows flat folders: place Go and Python under Programming Languages, color-code tags, add descriptions, pin frequent ones to the top of the sidebar, and optionally roll up child-tag items into parent views. Saving is frictionless - a lightweight bookmarklet works in any desktop or mobile browser without extensions, and Apple devices can send links through the native Share menu. Faved fetches titles, descriptions, and preview images automatically, keeps that metadata fresh over time, and flags duplicates as you save. Instant as-you-type search, flexible sorting, and bulk actions (retag, delete, refetch) keep collections of any size manageable, while customizable layouts - card, list, or table - plus a system-synced dark mode adapt the interface to your workflow. Migration is first-class: import from Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge with folder structure preserved, or move from Pocket and Raindrop.io keeping tags and collections. The stack is deliberately light - PHP 8 with SQLite behind a React/Tailwind frontend - deploying via Docker with no external dependencies. All data stays local: no ads, no tracking, and no risk of your library vanishing with a discontinued service.

Up to 280 search services - Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant, Startpage - aggregated without tracking or profiling: SearXNG is a privacy-respecting metasearch engine (AGPL-3.0, successor to Searx). Your instance queries the upstream engines on your behalf: your IP address, cookies, and search history never reach them, tracker parameters are stripped from result URLs, and an optional image proxy fetches thumbnails server-side so result pages leak nothing. It can even route outbound queries through Tor for full anonymity. Search is organized into categories - general, images, videos, news, maps, music, IT, science, files - with bang shortcuts for targeting specific engines, and every source can be enabled, disabled, or weighted per category in settings.yml. A plugin system adds calculators, hash tools, tracker removal, and unit conversions inline, and preferences (themes, safe search, languages, engine selection) persist in cookies rather than server-side accounts. The real argument for running your own instance rather than trusting a public one is control: you decide the logging policy (none), the engine mix, rate limiting, and who gets access - making it the default search backend for browsers, families, and teams that want Google-quality results without the profile.

Moltis gives individuals and teams a completely private personal AI agent server that bridges conversational assistants to everyday messaging platforms while executing real-world computing tasks inside secure execution environments. Users can interact with autonomous agents across Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, Matrix, and browser interfaces to draft correspondence, automate research, and schedule recurring cron tasks. The system coordinates multi-agent delegation by spinning up specialized sub-agents with dedicated roles for code generation, pull request reviews, quality assurance testing, and technical documentation. Built-in sandboxing isolates tool operations within container boundaries or WebAssembly modules, ensuring shell commands, web scraping routines, and script executions cannot alter underlying operating system files without explicit permission. Native Model Context Protocol integration allows operators to attach external data endpoints, database connectors, and custom command-line utilities without rewriting core routing logic. Persistent memory preserves conversational context and document embeddings across multiple sessions, allowing assistants to recall prior discussions, user preferences, and project guidelines indefinitely. Administrators can configure granular tool approvals, manage WebAuthn passkey authentication, and review real-time WebSocket communication logs through an embedded control panel.

Watch YouTube without the ads, accounts, or tracking, from a server you own: TubeHaus is a private YouTube client that keeps the familiar layout, URLs, and keyboard shortcuts. Your subscriptions, watch history, resume positions, Watch Later, and playlists live as files on the server, so every device in the house shares one library and picks up a video where another screen left it. Live streams play with segments fetched ahead of the player, and captions are transcribed on the fly when a stream has none. Chapters, storyboard previews, a mini player, and theater mode make long videos easy to navigate, while sponsors are skipped automatically and dislike counts come back to the page. Save videos offline in 1080p or 4K for trips, send playback to a TV from your phone without a separate casting dongle, and drive the television interface entirely from a remote. Imports arrive from a Google Takeout export, Invidious, NewPipe, or FreeTube, so years of subscriptions move over in minutes instead of being rebuilt by hand. A calm mode hides recommendations and Shorts when you only want to search and watch deliberately. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Mail-in-a-Box turns a single Ubuntu server into a fully functional email system with one setup command, installing and configuring Postfix for SMTP, Dovecot for IMAP, Roundcube for webmail, and Z-Push for Exchange ActiveSync push notifications in an automated sequence that would take days to replicate manually. The DNS server auto-configures the full suite of email authentication records: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC with DANE TLSA, MTA-STS, and SSHFP. Getting all of these right is what separates email that lands in inboxes from email that lands in spam, and most manual installations never achieve the complete set. Nextcloud integration adds CardDAV contact sync and CalDAV calendar sharing across devices. Let's Encrypt certificates provision and renew automatically for every hosted domain. The web control panel manages users, aliases, custom DNS records, and automated backups, protected by TOTP two-factor authentication. Daily health checks verify that services run correctly, ports remain open, TLS certificates stay valid, and DNS records resolve properly, alerting you before delivery problems develop. Multiple domains and users operate from one installation with internationalized domain name support. Built-in HTTPS static site hosting uses the TLS infrastructure already in place. Runs on a dedicated RepoCloud VPS with guaranteed resources, root SSH, and browser serial console for complete email sovereignty. CC0 public domain licensed.

Page views, referrers, browsers, and screen sizes - Ackee delivers the analytics developers actually check, from a deliberately minimal Node.js and MongoDB stack that skips both Matomo's weight and Google Analytics' cloud dependency. Its defining constraint is anonymization: no cookies, no unique user tracking, and a multi-step anonymization process that keeps visitors unidentifiable while the aggregate numbers stay useful. In its default anonymous mode Ackee collects no personally identifiable information at all, which means GDPR and CCPA compliance out of the box and no cookie consent banner on your sites. A detailed mode adds screen size, language, and per-visit referrers - still without cookies or fingerprinting. Integration mirrors the Google Analytics pattern: create a domain in settings, drop the generated ackee-tracker snippet into your pages, and data appears in a clean single-page dashboard. One instance tracks multiple domains, and custom events capture button clicks, signups, and conversions. The distinctive engineering choice is the fully documented GraphQL API: everything the dashboard shows comes from that API, so you can query active visitors, average duration, and view statistics programmatically, feed data in from apps and services beyond websites, or build an entirely custom interface on top. If you want bare-minimum analytics with a real API and zero privacy anxiety, this is the tool.

Take the tool sales teams use to never forget a client detail and point it at the people who actually matter - friends, family, the colleague whose kid's name you keep blanking on: Monica is a personal CRM. It's a Laravel/PHP application over MySQL where each contact accumulates the texture of a real relationship: how you met, family members and pets, work changes, addresses, notes from conversations, activities done together, gift ideas and gifts given, even debts owed in multiple currencies. Two features set it apart from every contact app. Reminders with staying power: set per-contact intervals (weekly through yearly), get notified at 30 days, 7 days, and day-of, with automatic birthday reminders and CalDAV sync to your calendar. And a journal linked to contacts: write about dinner with friends, tag each person, and build a timeline that's part diary, part relationship log - plus a daily "how was your day" rating. Monica is deliberately manual and deliberately private: no social network features, no AI, no email scraping, no ads, no analytics - a quiet database of what you know about people you love, on your own server. Multiple vaults and users, labels, custom activity types, and document/photo uploads round it out. AGPL-licensed.

Peergos is a peer-to-peer encrypted drive, messenger, email client, and private social network where your files and friendships stay unreadable to the server that stores them. You browse, upload, and organize files in a familiar web drive, then share a folder with a friend or send anyone a secret link whose key never travels to the server, so the link itself cannot leak what it opens. The built-in messenger handles private conversations, an encrypted email client with a bridge reaches the outside mail world, and the social feed shows posts only to the people you chose, with even the friend graph hidden from the operator. Web apps run from Peergos inside a sandbox and see only the data you grant them, which turns the drive into a private place to run tools rather than a folder other services reach into. Because encryption happens on your machine before anything is stored, a compromised server yields ciphertext and no file names, sizes, or sharing relationships. Host it at home and the same account gives your household storage plus its own communication platform; log in from any browser without carrying keys, because your password rebuilds them. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Open your laptop in a Lisbon cafe and your files at home answer as if the laptop never left the desk: AnywhereLAN stitches your own machines into one private mesh network with stable names like work-laptop.awl, no port forwarding and nothing exposed to internet scanners. There is no coordination server to trust. Peers announce themselves in the libp2p DHT, identify with ed25519 keys and connect directly over QUIC or TCP with TLS 1.3, hole-punching through NAT and borrowing a community relay only when both ends sit behind hostile firewalls. Send a browser out through the house connection with the built-in SOCKS5 proxy on 127.0.0.1:1066, handy on regional blocks and hostile hotel Wi-Fi. Prefer the full tunnel: the VPN gateway routes every IPv4 byte through a chosen peer, so the whole machine presents the exit node's address to the world. Devices join through invite links or QR codes. Every peer approves its friends and grants exit rights individually, and identity is a keypair you hold, so no account recovery email can betray the network. Manage it from the bundled web UI at admin.awl, script it from the awl CLI, watch it through Prometheus metrics on port 8639, and run it on Windows, macOS, Linux servers and Android phones. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MPL-2.0 licensed.

With over 9,000 GitHub stars earned since Google killed its browser-based Timeline, Dawarich fills the gap with a fully self-hosted location history platform that keeps your movement data under your control. Built on Ruby on Rails 8.0 with PostgreSQL and the PostGIS spatial extension for geometry-based queries, Dawarich imports your entire Google Takeout location archive in minutes and begins rendering interactive maps immediately. The visualization engine supports five map layers — heatmaps, points, lines, Fog of War exploration tracking, and a 3D globe view — each powered by Leaflet and spatial SQL rather than browser-side computation. Native iOS and Android apps handle background GPS tracking with offline support, automatically uploading location points when connectivity returns, while third-party integrations support OwnTracks, GPSLogger, Overland, Home Assistant, Traccar, and PhoneTrack. The trip system lets you create route visualizations between any two dates, attach notes, replay travel paths with a timeline scrubber, and share trips publicly with phrase-protected links and per-section visibility controls. Immich and PhotoPrism integrations automatically overlay geotagged photos on your maps and trips, while AirTrail integration renders flight history as arcs. Statistics dashboards break down countries visited, cities explored, total distance traveled, and active days by year and month, with visit detection suggesting places you have frequented. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Crypto portfolio tracking that inverts the SaaS model: rotki runs on your own machine, needs no email or account for the free tier, and keeps every wallet address, balance, transaction, and tax event in a local SQLCipher database encrypted with 256-bit AES. By default nothing passes through rotki-operated servers - a design choice that matters when cloud portfolio trackers concentrate exactly the identity-linked holdings data attackers want. Centralized exchanges (Kraken, Binance, Coinbase, Bitstamp, and more) connect through read-only API keys that can see but never withdraw; blockchain accounts cover Ethereum and its L2s, Bitcoin, Solana, Polkadot, and Kusama, with ENS resolution and your choice of RPC endpoint or your own node. rotki decodes on-chain transactions into readable events across major DeFi protocols - Aave, Uniswap, Compound, Curve, Lido - and generates profit-and- loss reports for tax season with customizable accounting settings, including FIFO, LIFO, and HIFO cost-basis methods, plus CSV imports for defunct exchanges. Optional premium sync is zero-knowledge, encrypting the database on-device before upload. AGPLv3-licensed and multiplatform, with a Docker package for server deployment.

Zero unifies Gmail, Outlook, and IMAP accounts into a single AI-enhanced inbox with keyboard-driven navigation that matches premium email clients in speed. Backed by 10,000+ stars and positioned as the alternative to Superhuman, it keeps your email data in your own PostgreSQL database while LLM agents handle categorization, priority sorting, draft composition, and natural language mailbox queries. You choose whether models run locally or through cloud providers you control. The Next.js and React interface delivers customizable keyboard shortcuts for every action: reading, archiving, labeling, composing. A WorkflowEngine defines automated multi-step rules including label application, bulk archiving, and conditional routing based on sender, subject, or content analysis. Built on Drizzle ORM with Better Auth handling Google OAuth, styled with TailwindCSS and Shadcn UI components, the interface is polished without being bloated. MCP integration exposes email management tools to external AI assistants for programmatic inbox control through standardized protocols. The Nizzy CLI handles environment configuration, database synchronization, and development server orchestration. Deploys via Docker Compose with a single database initialization command.
